Four riders will turn pro with FDJ in 2016, and one of these will be Odd Christian Eiking, who I’m sure many know since two seasons ago, when he signed with Joker, one of Norway’s best teams when it comes to finding and developing young riders. Just 21-years-old, Odd began cycling when he was 10, just for fun, but with time began thinking he can forge a career in this sport, so decided to focus 100% on it.

In his first season with Team Joker, 19-year-old Odd Christian Eiking already made some waves in the races he did and showed himself to be one of the most brightest prospects of Norwegian cycling. After a 3rd place at the National Championships in June, he raced the Giro della Valle d’Aosta and had a superb performance, finishing 2nd in the GC. That result – the best of a Norwegian rider in the Italian race – made him more confident ahead of his next two big goals of the season, the Tour de l’Avenir and the World Championships.
